Got it--thanks! My problem was that I didn't know the context to use,
and so was trying to browse to it. Unfortunately, the browse window
is not only terribly slow, but terribly unstable, almost always
crashing whenever a fairly large number of items need to be listed
(which is quite often on this network). It took me a minute to
realize that I needed to select the Binder option in the Chooser, but
after that, I was home free.

Ug, I see what you mean about those filenames. At least with Anarchie
(when the web server's running, that is), I can see the full
filename, even though the names are pretty ugly thanks to the spaces
being converted to HTML %20 symbols. I gather, then, that there's
nothing I can do about the names?

Thanks again!


Regards,
Bob
